FATHER HARTNETT'S
Sermon at the Cathedral Yester-
day Morning.

Sermon at the Cathedral Yester-
day Morning.
Rev. Father Hartnett preached at
the cathedral yesterday morning, be-
fore large and attentive audience,
on st. Vibiana, the titular saint of the
church. "You are doubtless aware"
began the speaker, 'that we have re-
ceived many favors at the hands OF
God. From Him proceeds whatever
there is of good in this world.
Whether we consider the natural or
supernatural order, we are forced to
admit that without God nothing can
exist nothing can prosper. God is
the Alpha and the Omega-the be-
ginning and end of everything. To
Him ought all created nature direct
its course. AS matter of fact, if we
except rational and free agents, each
and every creature of God attains the
end for which it was created. On
earth man alone, of all the creatures
of God, refuses to obey the voice OF
his Maker. 1t is not alone in the
nineteenth century that humanity,
with all its boasted preroga-
tives, rebels against the author
ity OF that Being supreme and
infinite who justly claims the tribute
of obedience and love from His
creatures. 1t was even so long before
the earthly career OF the first man and
woman came to the close. Man
proud man-rebelled against his god
and denied him the submission and
obedience which he justly claimed.
As creator of all created nature. The
saints OF God are only too often looked
upon as persons possessing different
nature from ours. The effects OF such
an egregious mistake are almost in
variably the depreciation of their ac-
tions and tardiness to mis-
take their virtues. How can
we propose those to our
selves as models whose nature seems
to us more angelic than human? How
can we admire heroic virtues in either
man or woman when we believe them
different from ourselves-not possess
ing the same passions not tormented
by the same adversaries; not placed
in like occasions and dangers and
aided by Gods grace much more than
the generosity of man? Hence if we
would thoroughly appreciate the
heroic deeds of the titular saint OF our
cathedral and the principal patroness
of this diocese we must first be con-
vinced of the fact that her nature was
like ours.
